COLBINABBIN came away with five out of nine wins on a brisk day at Gunbower.

The club’s A grade and junior netballers proving too strong against their Leitchville-Gunbower opponents.

Unfortunately, the senior footballers weren’t able to recreate their early season win against Leitchy, however the reserves and thirds had great wins.

Netball

U15 — Colbo 42 def. LG 19

U17 — Colbo 42 def. LG 37

The mid morning sun began to warm up players and spectators.

Colbo under 17 girls kept marginally ahead, then scores were equal at three quarter time.

Coggles played her space well at both ends, Abbey Blow demonstrated some impressive drives and Harper Pearson’s holds were beautiful.

Sports power award: Ella Kerlin. Subway award: Ella Coghill.

Still undefeated.

B Res — LG 50 def. Colbo 21

This week’s game against Leitchville-Gunbower was a tough game for the B res girls.

There were some strong plays throughout the game all over the court, but in the end the girls just couldn’t get away with the win.

Best on today was awarded to Ebony Graham.

B Grade — LG 42 def. Colbo 32

The Colbo B grade girls were defeated by ten goals against Leitchville Gunbower.

In the strong, windy conditions, the girls were able to hold up a fight, with Demi Taylor earning herself best on court for chasing up the loose balls and providing strong attacking drives continuously throughout the game.

Hannah Coghill with Lizzy Ingram had a tough day in the ring up against strong LG defence.

Hopefully we can come away with a win next weekend.

A Reserve — LG 46 def. Colbo 41

Lily losing the toss at the start of the game didn’t stop the girls from scoring the first goal.

Monique came out firing, taking a cracker of an intercept, which set the girls up for a good first quarter.

The defence end worked hard to win many turnovers, with Lily and Jess rewarding them with their ace shooting.

A change of weather challenged the girls in the last quarter, but Leitchville Gunbower took this in their stride turning over five goals where Colbo went down 41-46.

Best on went to Hannah and Monique for their outstanding efforts all over the court.

A Grade — Colbo 76 def. LG 26

In the A grade, the Hoppers came out all guns blazing.

Mardi Ryan played beautifully in WA, delivering the ball to the goalers perfectly.

Lou Dupuy continued her stellar form, shooting with incredible accuracy.
